I was invited to be the single page guest designer at
Stick It Down this month, and although I didn't have any single photos I wanted to feature on a layout, I thought the circles in the sketch could easily be converted into photos. I combined the sketch challenge with the February VSBN Music challenge over at
Splitcoast Stampers, Sharon wanted us to use lyrics from Unchained Melody as inspiration for a layout, and when I noticed the lines about "Time goes by so slowly," they seemed like a perfect title for a road trip layout! Anyone who has ever traveled hundreds of miles with young children knows it sometimes feels the trip will never end, right?
Here's the sketch:
And here's my layout:

Cool idea to use some of the circles as photos! Thanks for playing along at USE YOUR STUFF - Gail
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I had fun playing with that sketch at Stick It Down this month too. Thanks so much for playing along with the BINGO challenge and joining us at Use Your Stuff this week!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant! Yes, I've had those road trips. Didn't think of bringing a camera along, and at that time there was no such thing as a cell phone, let alone one with a camera in it! Wow! I love your take on this month's sketch. Thanks for being such an awesome guest designer!
